I'm unsure if it's already the case, but shouldn't dwarves throw a party or at least get happy thoughts every time it's their birthday?
Perhaps it might be better if the economy were implemented first, so they can request gifts?

With the accelerated way time works, there would be a problem if 80 dwarves were each throwing one birthday party per year. Say 10% of the fortress go to each party, then that's 640 extra breaks per year, or 8 extra breaks per dwarf per year. If each party is percentage based, then with 200 dwarves, 20 dwarves will go to each party, and that's 20 extra breaks per dwarf per year. It could be really bad if e.g. all your 40 military were friends with each other and they kept taking time out from training or patrolling to go to each other's birthday parties.

Maybe this could just apply to the nobility: In the Middle Ages the birthday of the king was accompanied with a large feast.

Celebrating your birthday didnt really become a thing until the victorian age. Births were celebrated though, but generally that of the nobility.

Um in what would be become china, many of the states there used to celebrate their leader b-day, but then use it to just also celebrate all the kids b day too.

IMO, there are already enough parties. Constant reveling is going on in my dining hall. =_=

Yes, at the most, parties for the king's day and maybe the duke would be called for, and due to the fact that a party tends to last a week if not more, it's problematic to make them annual.  Making parties once-a-decade would bring them more into line with the sort of scheduling the game tends to have.

Maybe nobles could mandate fortress anniversary celebrations?

More likely it would be a mandated celebration on the anniversary of when the mandated floodgate was constructed.
